    So other than someother parts Im 100% getting, I am at a turning point, get this car to a crazy set up or getting a cool nissan rwd project car

    They will cost about the same, so its either crazy camber/maybe new front struts with bbk on all four, or a s chassis and/or r32 that I can do party things with

    This is my dilemma for this summer


    Either way
    -getting a second compressor
    -getting a shakotan under spoiler
    -and a few other minor stupid things

    So I had to buy new tires upfront (in reality I did need new tires) so now no issues at all, just need about -3 more degrees of camber upfront to match the back and its perfect

    I have had a few people that wanted to shoot my car for features for their websites and stuff so that should be happening soon.

    But I finally got around to taking some photos of the new set up and the car in general.

    In the last photo you can start to see the White with metal flake on the wheels start to show up

























    So now its just:

    -finish work stolz
    -accuair switchspeed
    -second compressor
    -underspoiler (shakotan style)
    -order new lugs
    -mugen pedals
    -downpipe
    -spark plate

    All that before h2oi is the goal

    the wheels were absolutely perfect, and now its only leaking on one spot of the bead, may just end up buying two new tires, since my fronts are beat any way, but may just get them dismounted and give them a nice big cleaning

    NOWO

    I have never felt so let down by my car, and have never felt such a urge to pour gasoline on it and set it a blaze

    So I put all the wheels and drove with them to:
    -work (with lunch) and back total: 15miles
    -School: 22miles

    Leaving school today I found my tire was flat but still holding a bead, took off the tire and found nothing at all, no nails, not holes, no teares, nothing.

    Call AAA guy comes we put air in and doesn't leak at all, we put it back on the car and for 40 minutes there is zero leaks.

    AAA guy leaves, I go to pull out of the spot and go back to check the tire and now its bleeding air out of the bead.

    Call the guy back and managed to limp the car from the parking garage to the parking lot not to far away

    Guy calls a tow truck and so far have used 2 of my 5 free AAA calls

    O i forgot to add the first guy had to go on a call and couldnt come back then I found out my spare is flat and thats why I decided on the tow truck

    Immediately took the tire and wheel to merchant where the de mount and re mounted the tire and checked for bead leaks

    only for me to get home and mount them and find them leaking around the one spot on the bead again

    As of now Sowo is out of question, kinda sad, kinda mad. Im just grateful this didnt happen in bum fuck nowhere in South Carolina.

    Here are some photos of all the shit I went through today












    So here is a photo of the set up still need to dial in front camber to -6 to -7, get an alignment and re paint the wheels but now to figure out what todo about the leak, may try the tire since this one is toast

    It looks a lot better on the car as a whole rather than just the back in the photo, but the bolt ons are ran up front while the slip ons with studs are ran in the back

    Thanks dude, Not to sure what the size of his are but it know his fronts are more convex, these ones and 90% of the reason I got them is because they are all concave with the rears more concaved than the fronts
